Another former staff member of Legacy Christian Academy has been sentenced for assaulting students.

In Saskatoon Provincial Court on Thursday, Former Director, John Olubobokun, has been handed an 18-month conditional sentence for paddling students. Conditions include anger management courses, a set curfew and community service.

Earlier this year, Olubobokun was found guilty of nine counts of assault with a weapon. This was after he testified that, while he was aware of paddling at the school, he never did so himself and never had a paddle in his office. He also claimed that the paddles were removed from the school following the Supreme Court Ruling on corporal punishment in 2003.

Judge Lisa Watson rejected his claim, saying she did not find Olubobokun’s testimony credible.

He isn’t the only staff member facing similar charges. In January 2024, former athletic director Aaron Travis Benneweis was sentenced two years after pleading guilty to charges of sexual assault and sexual exploitation of a minor. In May, former principal Duff Friesen was found guilty of assault with a weapon, but he has yet to be sentenced. Former director and vice-principal Ken Schultz also pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual assault and assault with a weapon. His case currently remains before the courts.
